IGN's Jesse Schedeen recently interviewed the creators to delve into what's next after wrapping up their initial arc. Absolute Batman teases the presence of iconic villains like Bane and the Joker. Scott Snyder hinted, " . . . this Joker is already really terrifying by the time he meets Batman. But his relationship with Batman is part of something that really evolves as the series goes."
